A comunicação não verbal na gestalt-terapia de casal e família: construindo possibilidades

Abstract

The present study has as main purpose to understand the place of nonverbal communication on clinical experience of gestalt therapists of couples and families. Through the theoretical contextualization about the Gestalt Therapy of Couple and Family and nonverbal communication in gestalt approach, it was intended to build a "backdrop" for the contact with the phenomenon questioned in the survey. The access to the experience of the gestalt therapists participants was possible through their narratives, according to the concept of narrative of Walter Benjamin. These narratives were constructed and harvested in the encounter with the researcher and, later, analysed at the light of the Analítica do Sentido - methodological proposal of realization of the real, phenomenological orientation, developed by Dulce Critelli. Therefore, to achieve the objective of this work was carried out a field research, qualitative in nature and phenomenological slant. In General, it was considered that nonverbal communication in Gestalt Therapy of couple and family has an essential importance, since this mode of communication is part in the therapeutic field. In addition, it was contemplated that people usually have no conscience of this communication and, as the Gestalt Therapy works with and for the awareness, addressing the nonverbal proved crucial. However, the theme has proved of enormous theoretical shortage, and that is in this paradox that highlights the relevance and need for attention.
